I am back!

 I am back!!!!!!!!!!

Over the last year every ounce of creativity and most, well all of my time was devoted to wedding planning. MY WEDDING!!!! Let me tell you planning a wedding is no joke. On December 27th, 2012 my boyfriend (now husband) gave me the biggest surprise of my life and proposed. I had no idea it was coming.  For me that was the most perfect part about it! Immediately we began wedding planning. I have to admit I was completely shocked with how quickly it all started to come together. Typically I am quite the procrastinator but not this time. I was all over it. I wanted first pick of everything, food, music, venue, you name it. I will admit that I did get a little bit crazy at times. You know that total bride breakdown, crying and everything, but for the most part I kept myself together.

I had always envisioned my wedding (as all little girls do) to be at my childhood home. After much consideration we decided it would be healthiest for us all to have the wedding somewhere other than my parents house. There were quite a few conflicting ideas on how it was going to go down!

We still wanted to have the wedding in the county since we were both born and raised there. We found an absolutely breath taking venue and it couldn't of fit us better. The ceremony would take place on top of the hill looking over the town and the Blue Ridge Mountains as our back drop. The cocktail hour and ceremony would be held in the largest standing dairy barn east of the Mississippi, just down the hill.

After months and months of planning, everything had finally come together. I have to give a lot of credit to our wedding planner who created an atmosphere beyond my imagination. Down to every detail she "NAILED IT!".

The day of the wedding we couldn't of asked for a better day. We had timed the fall colors perfectly, at their peak! The feel of our ceremony was for us, enormous. We were surrounded by so much love and so many of our favorite people. The evening went as smoothly as you could possibly imagine. The food was great, the bands were all awesome and an amazing group of family and friends were having the best time ever!!!

So with all of the planning, there hasn't been a lot of time for cooking, blogging or crafting (other than center pieces, programs, and all the other wedding items!) I am hoping, no, I will be introducing myself, back into the blogging world. As you can tell if you have followed before, my blog is under a little construction, so please bear with me. Hopefully it should be up and running in no time! So stayed tuned!!!

Simply,
